Hi everyone, and thanks for the messages.
I think I am going to try to create a version for PICK 4.
Of course the problem with PICK 4 is, that the expectations are often way too high.
As mentioned earlier today in the other thread https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/80650 the request for less numbers is already there for even PICK 3. That will be once again be main concern for PICK 4. After all we are dealing with way more choices (boxed or straight). And it is still expected usually that you do not see more suggestions than you will see in the PICK 3 game.
I think the first thing that has to be accepted by the player or user is that a ranked system just shows more numbers and that you play from the top to bottom the number of suggestions that you like. You can in addition to that use other tools to reduce (Emily's pairs for example) the selection. That would be the case in the PICK 4 environment as well. I could also purposely just cut the number of suggestions off at a certain point 30 or 20 or 10. That would work as well. My point against that is, that it would still be interesting and helpful for the future to see at what point in the prediction the number really hit, or whether it hit at all.
Within the systems offered, there is also a certain a change in time. I still like the idea of Hot/Cold selection to a certain extent, but there are apparently other pieces involved as well. MasterMind 3 works completely without the idea of Hot/Cold and is more based on the numbers themselves. The only additional reduction method is the get rid of boxed numbers that where recently drawn. That seems to be a valid way to reduce. That part also the case in the Wild Wheel 3 system.
The tests showed to me that to enter 6 previous numbers seems to be the most economic approach, even though it still can give 70 or so numbers, it does not reduce the suggestions the "death". The more more entries you make, the more reduction you will get and the more likely you will get rid of the "1" number that counts, the hit. If you put to little information in the results are not clear enough. The WA test of the last week hit 4 times boxed and 1 time straight, with 2 misses that were both doubles. That is not bad but will certainly also find a week without any hit. But still, it shows the selection power though.
Hitting 10 or more times in a month with a "reasonable" amount of numbers is a progress. The idea behind my lottery systems is always "Minimize your Losses!". Reducing your losses or winning more often smaller amounts will allow you to play more often and you will be more likely hit bigger wins. That's idea!
Until later..and Good Luck!
